My name is Alissa Coward Wright. My paternal grandfather is John Raymond Coward, born 1921 to John Huston Coward and Rhoda Cordelia Wood in North Carolina. I live in Washington State and am interested in connecting with me southern relatives.
This looks like your John Raymond Coward (using his middle name Raymond) on these census. The census list all his siblings so you may be able to trace them if you can their marriages and U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 1.
